Wrong place and time for the rant. No one here has really shown much anger. I actually defended the guy's right to make his statement. But from a cultural point of view, that shirt is racist. There's really no way around it. Isn't Alfred E Newman a white guy on Mad magazine. Comparing Bush to another white human male cartoon character doesn't really come across as the same as Obama and a monkey. Cute or not.

Curious George publisher mulls legal action over Obama shirt - BostonHerald.com

And that character IS curious George for all intents and purposes. Good luck in court.
